I confirm the problem, same here.

Observed behaviour:
It can connect to a wireless network only immediately after the reboot of the laptop.
If after that the network is lost for whatever reason, it cannot reconnect anymore, but instead hangs on "Authenticating..." forever (in wpa_gui).
Network "lost" can be triggered manually by switching to different network, suspending/resuming laptop etc.
And then it cannot be ever reconnected, unless rebooted.

The problem is related to 3.3-0.slh.3 kernel. And maybe ath9 driver as I notice the topic starter uses atheros as well.
